Air bags help protect the driver and right front-seat passenger in certain collisions by supplementing the protection provided by safety belts. Side-impact air bags for both the driver and right-front passenger help reduce the risk of injury in certain side impacts. Dual-stage front air bags utilize sensors to detect the severity of a crash, and then determine whether the air bags should be deployed and at what level of force. Head-curtain air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head injuries to front-seat and outboard rear-seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions.
Head curtain side air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front and rear seat occupants on the near side of the certain side-impact collisions. Always use safety belts and the correct child restraints for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with air bags and the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. See the vehicle's Owner Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.
The antilock brake system (ABS) is designed to help drivers maintain steering control by reducing wheel lockup during hard braking on most slippery or dry surfaces.
StabiliTrak is designed to enhance stability by monitoring several sensors, and then modulating one or more brakes as necessary to help the vehicle on its driver-intended path.
As an added security feature, this vehicle has the PASS-Key III theft-deterrent system, which includes a special ignition key with up to 3 trillion possible code variations. If any attempt is made to start your vehicle without the properly coded key, the starter and fuel injectors are temporarily disabled.
Traction Control reduces engine power and modulates the brakes to help reduce wheel slip during acceleration on many surfaces.
